Service manuals, are they really $90 bucks? 4 Months ago  
Hello fellow riders!

I have been looking for a service repair manual form my 2004 Midnight Road Star. I purchased a brand new unopened Clymer Book M282-2 https://www.amazon.com/Clymer-Publications-M282-2-MANUAL-ROADSTAR/dp/B006B2C9R8 on Craigslist for $20. Its a great book, but I find it lacking the details I enjoy reading, and learning about. I noticed that Yamaha has an official service manual for $89 bucks on there website. I don't mind buying the book, but is there a place to purchase them for less? Or another venue for getting that information?

Thank you in advanced,

-Bert

I found one free doing a search with year followed by "yamaha roadstar repair manual free pdf".

One that I ran across wanted to hold your credit card and get your email. I didn't do that one. Downloaded one that was straight free.

I have one that I will sell for $20.00 + shipping, 07 Yamaha Roadstar. I took it apart and put in a three binder, felt that it was easier to use that way.

Bert, could you post a link to the manual on the Yamaha site. I can't find it, and would like to see if it's the one I have.
Thanks!

One of the members (TykesPlace) here has a link you can download the manuals.

There is other info about the RS on his site. ( Roadwing, etc...)

https://sites.google.com/site/tykesplace/yamaha-roadstar

You may have to copy and paste the link

Good luck and ride safe.

I'm pretty sure I still have one on CD. If you, Bert71(or anyone) wants it for free I will look for it and send it out.
